OHVs: allowed but they must use the launch ramp for entry and exit from the lake.

Possession Limit: Four fish. Each participant can measure up to 4 fish during the contest. Any fish measured will be considered toward the participant’s legal fish limit. Reminder the “Slot” rule at Lost Creek will be adhered to. Only 3 fish under 15” and one fish over 22” can be measured. If you are in violation you may be subject to a citation.

Awards: given to first, second, and third-place participants with the largest measured trout. (tiebreaker will be the largest fish measured first.)

Injured Fish: If any of the fish are injured they must be kept as part of your limit (except at Lost Creek).

Fish Length: You may measure up to 4 fish at each park. Your longest fish measured will be the fish on record for the individual park tournament. If you participate in the quadfishathon, your longest fish measured at each park will go towards your combined length total for the overall tournament. A fin will be clipped. Park/Wildlife staff will measure the fish and record the time caught at the official measure station. Their decision will be final and can be not disputed.
